This will be a Mysterious Theater Sketch featuring Alice Cooper. :eek:

(After the intro: Vincent Twice is sitting on a yellow chair instead of a green chair.)

VINCENT: "Good Evening, Good Evening. Welcome, my friends, welcome, my friends, to Mysterious Theater. I am your host, Vincent Twice Vincent Twice. Tonight, yes, tonight, yes, we have us, a very very special guest with us, tonight. (camera zooms to Vincent's face) Tonight, we take you now to the very eerie, very eerie... (echoes) Alice Cooper."

(cut to a haunted castle (including a picture of the woman from the intro and a candle), with Alice Cooper singing "Welcome To My Nightmare" with ghosts and skeletons.)

(after the song, the camera cut back to Vincent Twice.)

VINCENT: "What a nightmare, what a nightmare. Thanks. Thanks... to our very very special guest, Alice Cooper."

(Alice warps into Vincent's room.)

ALICE: "It's been my pleasure, Mr. Twice."

VINCENT: "I'm your biggest fan, Mr. Cooper, I'm your biggest fan."

("Mysterious Theater" Theme plays.)

ALICE: (to viewer) "And thank YOU, friends, for coming to my nightmare."

VINCENT: "What? What?"

ALICE: "Nothin'. Sorry."

VINCENT: "It's OK. It's OK."

(Alice Cooper laughs maniaticelly.)

What do you think of this outline?

Anyway, in the song, Alice Cooper starts from out of a cofin. It's kind of the same as from TMS. At the intrumental verse, the ghost of the lady from the Mysterious Theater Intro pops out of the picture and dances. The band accompanying Alice are a group of skeletons and ghosts. The setting for the song would have some special effects, alright.

Here's a site where you can watch Alice Cooper singing "Welcome To My Nightmare" on TMS:

I'd hate to revive a year-old thread and I'd hate to correct this, but Vincent Twice VERY RARELY repeated everything he said. Mostly it'd be his name and at the end of the skit with him stealing the toast and roast (he isn't in his usual armchair in this ending here), he wishes the audience "Until next time, until next time... if there ever IS a next time." I think that was the last Mysterious Theater skit to be made in 1991, and was the final one to be shown in 1999.

However, that Alice Cooper thing is REALLY crazy! "Mysterious Theater" was meant to be a parody of "Mystery!" and do detective stories, though I make an exception with "The Sesame Street Horror Special."
